Julie, I had 2 blooms on PM, one looked normal height, but the other was flat on the ground. I thought it had broken off or something :) I really like Octopus hugs. The scape had lots of buds, but we had a heavy short downpour & the stem is on the ground. I staked it up, hope it will finish blooming. Bill N was gorgeous from the 1st bloom. I thought I didn't like yellow or gold daylilies, really like this one though

I am not a photo aficionado, but I do use Picasa along with Irfanview. In the few issues that I needed help with Picasa I found their Help file user friendly. It is actually on-line with the Toolbar entry only a portal to it. In your case, it took me all of three clicks of the mouse to find the answer to your question. When you have time you may want to visit the site and become familiar with it so it can help you when you need quick answers. DA

lydia - I think some versions of Windows XP come with that option. Perhaps Media Center? Mine did not have it, but I downloaded it from Microsoft. It is a safe and quick download - It is a Windows PowerToy. Once you have it installed - you can right click on an image and you will have the option to resize it. It will rename it (adding a "small" at the end of it) so you don't ruin your original image. There are some other fun "toys" on the link. Scroll down towards the bottom. The Resizer link will be at the right. Here is a link that might be useful: Windows Power Toys

Here's a link to the Test Forum, for anyone who wants to doodle away. Forgot about scrolling long links. Not only does it widen the entire thread, it also forces readers to copy and paste to view it, which a lot of us won't do either, ack! ;-) For anyone not familiar with alternatives, I'll post them, using Pottery Barn as an example. To put a live link in a post, there are two ways to do it: 1) When typing a post, instead of pasting the link right into the Message box (body) of the post, go to the boxes below the message box. Paste the web site's http://www.address.com in the box marked "Optional Link URL:". Then in the "Name of the Link:" box type in the name of the website. I just did that here so when you read my post you will see a link to Pottery Barn below and to the right of my message. It will say "Here is a link that might be useful:". ~OR~ 2) If you want to direct link right in the body of your post (like I did in Test Forum above) you can add html code. This method comes in handy when posting multiple links. Paste the link to your site (in this example Pottery Barn) right in your Message body: http://www.potterybarn.com/ You will need to add html code to the beginning and end of the link. You will also need to add the name of the site you're linking to (in this case 'Pottery Barn'). Add on html code is in bold below. So the string of text looks like this: a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/">Pottery Barn Important or it won't work: You have to wrap the entire string of text with angle brackets. So you must put a front angle bracket right at the beginning of that string of text directly in front of a href. You must put a rear angle bracket > right at the very end of the string of text, behind There are no spaces between the angle brackets and the other text. Think of the angle brackets as giving the entire string a tight hug! There is a single space between a href at the front. All other text in that line is typed with no spaces between it! So when I put that string together, spaced as noted,you should see an active link to Pottery Barn like this: Pottery Barn You can use that same string of commands for any web site. Just be sure the spacing is correct, substitute the name of your site where Pottery Barn is, and hug> that entire line tight with angle brackets! (cheesy I know, but might help you remember).
